    For most people, it sure is. Definitely a adrenaline fueled experience but the feeling is unbelievable.

    I love the noise, V8s have a really nice note to them. Love the rumble.

    No the sierra is wider and longer. The floor had to be shortened and wide arches added to make it fit.

    Oh wider for sure, just couldn’t tell if it was shortened or not, thank you. Was it taken out behind the gearbox/floor x-member??

    Directly after the gearbox, the flattest part of the floor between the front and rear seats was shortened with a jig between the four wheels to mat it all together
